It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats. It secretes pancreatic lipase, esterase and phospholipase, which break down chemically complex fats into simple, easy-to-absorb fats. Similarly, trypsin and carboxypolypeptidase break down proteins, and pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates.
Phospholipids are molecules containing a glycerol bound to two fatty acids and a phosphate group. They contain both hydrophillic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-fearing) parts. These are the hydrophillic head and the hydrophobic tail, respectively. Phospholipids are the major component of biological membranes of organisms. It is there where they form what is known as the lipid bilayer.
